2012 Questionnaire

Instead of writing a long post on 2012 and all it involved, I thought it would be fun to play along with my 4th sister, Kelly at kellyskornerblog.blogspot.com.
1. What are you most thankful for?
My family and friends. This answer may sound rather textbook, but seriously, these are what make me get out of bed each day, push me onward when times are hard and the first I call when something amazing happens.

2. What were the highlights of 2012 for you?
Moving to Germany, finding out we were finally expecting again, a wee bit of traveling and spending some good quality time with my family this summer.

3. What are you hoping for in 2013?
Peace. Great adventures. New friends. Pregnancy/Adoption (wherever we are lead). Lots and lots of family time.

4. What were some of your favorites of 2012? (Clothes, movies, songs, TV shows, )
Gosh, I feel like I live in a bubble. I rarely saw any movies in 2012. I love Modern Family & The Amazing Race, Hart of Dixie, Private Practice, Grey's Anatomy.

5. Who was God to you in 2012?
Hmmm. God is always with me. I know that, but in 2012, he began awakening me to embrace change in my life. That is part of my plan for 2013. The plan to better myself and to become even more selfless in order to help others. 

Happy 2013 dear friends! 2012 was a year of happiness for us as well as immense sadness. That being said, I look forward to 2013 and what unfolds for our family.

Because Kara is going to make this blog into a book for our children someday, I have decided I to start posting comments as often as I can to her posts. When our children read this, I want them to know what Daddy was thinking... They will also get an opportunity to see how truly funny and cool their Daddy was/is. For 2013, I am not going to make resolutions. Instead, I am going to write down some goals I have for life in general. This plan comes from a book Kara got me for Christmas called "Entreleadership." Goals with specific timelines and objectives... 1.) lose 30 pounds by March 30, 2013. 2.) Visit at least 12 of the locations on our "places to see list" by the end of 2013. I'll have to think about the others. We have been moving for the last month and my brain is currently fried.

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...
